WHO IS HE?

Where did He come from? Why did He come? What did He teach? Was He God in the flesh? Was He only a man? Why did He die? Did He rise from the dead? Was He born of a woman?

 

A Son who lived even before the foundation of the Earth;

 

A Son spoke about before his birth, by the prophets;

 

A Son, who made the nations anxious to meet and see;

 

A Son, given to us for redemption;

 

A Son, coming into the world like any other but not at all like any other;

 

A Son, so perfect, so pure, so loving and so kind;

 

A Son whose name is Jesus Christ;

 

A Son whose father is the Lord God Almighty;

 

Few will dispute that a man named Jesus lived over 2,000 years ago and that He was a great teacher who impacted the world before and from His time onwards. But He has always been a controversial figure. He made a CLAIM that was BREATHTAKING in its audacity—that He was the very SON OF GOD, the long-prophesied Messiah! Yet the religious authorities in Jerusalem rejected Him, hated Him and eventually thought had succeeded in having Him put to death.

 

Likewise, the local Roman civil authorities also saw Him as a threat and became complicit in His execution. The religions of His day, both Judaism and paganism, opposed the growth of His teachings and used unlawful and violent means to try to destroy the Church He founded. The government of Rome also came to vigorously persecute the followers of this Jewish teacher from Galilee.

 

Today Jesus Christ continues to be a controversial figure who continues to arouse passions. Many believe he lived Discover the true, fascinating story that so few understand—the story of the greatest Man who ever lived and His little-understood message! Many are so stubborn to take him at what he said a follow him

 

This season once again, as many thousands of years as has been celebrated, we once again have the privilege to celebrate His birth and challenge our selves as to why he came and for whom? Why we are celebrating the His birth?

 

He gave himself for us, because of Love, Kindness, Mercy. This Christmas season is our chance to make peace with our enemies, Love those you never ever wanted to love and give or share with everybody, Look beyond the physical and say something good about the next person because they need it.

 

Aaaaaam sooooooooooo excited about Christmas.

 

MERRY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A JOYOUS NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
